2.1 How Are You Making Ohio's Technology Standards An Official Part Of Your District's Curriculum?
This section is a prerequisite for Sections 2.2 through 2.8 and should be considered as a separate task with a
different goal. The goal of this section is to describe how your district is including Ohio Technology Standards into
the distict’s curriculum. Regardless whether your district calls it a "Graded Course of Study," "Curriculum Map," or
something else – all districts have some form of documentation that spells out what is expected to be taught. The
content standards for technology should be written into these documents so they are interwoven with the content
standards for math, science etc. For Educational Service Centers (ESCs), please identify how you are assisting
your contracted schools in aligning their curriculum to technology standards.
The academic content standards, known as curriculum, describe what to teach. Technology standards should be
embedded within the content from other disciplines in order to deliver the curriculum in a highly effective and
motivational way.
1. Using the grid below, please indicate the status of your district's efforts to embed Ohio's Technology
Standards into the content standards for each curricular area. In the left column, "Where Are We Now?,"
please select "Not Started," "In Progress," or "Complete" for each curriculum area listed. In the right column,
"Where Do We Want To Go?” please select the school year you completed or plan to complete this process.
2. In the textboxes below, please provide brief but comprehensive descriptions of how you are writing Ohio's
Technology Standards into all of your curriculum areas. How are you measuring progress toward that goal,
and how will you sustain a culture of technology integration into the future?

How will we get there? We are currently using a curriculum mapping process for all of our curriculum areas. We will be integrating
technology into each of the above areas while completing the curriculum maps for our district. How will we know we're getting there? Our quarterly benchmark assessments will reflect this progress. How will we sustain focus and momentum? The purpose of our curriculum mapping process is to keep us on track and on target with Ohio's State
Standards. Professional development opportunities will be provided by the Educational technologist and the
district's Educational technology representatives. Face-to-face and online professional development
opportunities will be provided. We also intend to use resources from eTech (ie, elearning, eTech Conference,
etc).
